Flower-SOIC ProtoBoard Released

Happy New Year !! Thanks for your attention on ElecFreaks in the new year. We were always working on Flower ProtoBoard Series last month. Many people suggest us to add SOIC support, such as Foxx D'Gamma said: support SMD and SOIC layouts for component adapters. Perhaps a PCB that will line up with the legs of a SOIC Chip but break away and line up with the pads of a Flower protoboard so you can lay the two on top of your board and do a quick solder-tack to get it in place and electrically connected to the board. So from now on, we will provide two color of Flower-SOIC ProtoBoard-MEGA shield(default Green). It's support SOIC-SOIC28. Green Flower ProtoBoard

Some suggestion for SOIC Kilian Singer said:

It would be great to be able to divide the pad to allow for soic smd device soldering.

I would really like to see some protoboard with your system, combined with 1.27mm pitch pads for SOIC soldering. I always cut islands in halves to accomodate SOIC or SOT23 housings, you seem to be able to turn solder frustration to new products....

Foxx D'Gamma said: I do a lot of surface mount work these days and in time perhaps I can suggest ideas for new products, like SMD and SOIC layouts for component adapters. Perhaps a PCB that will line up with the legs of a SOIC Chip but break away and line up with the pads of a Flower protoboard so you can lay the two on top of your board and do a quick solder-tack to get it in place and electrically connected to the board. You can call it a "LillyPad" since it sits on top of the flowerboard like a lillypad sits on top of a pond. ......

So , if you have any idea for Flower ProtoBoard Series or improve protoboard, please share with us. we are looking forward to you.
